Aura Farwell
Hi! My name is Aura Farwell and I have been a Colorado resident for all of my life. I grew up in Buena Vista, CO and am a proud Mountain Mama! I love to explore all things Colorado, but I am happy to travel as far and wide as I can, too. Discovering new cultures, communities and places is a source of fulfillment for me. I'm all about new experiences and adventure makes my heart sing!
I am a very creative person and try to get my hands on anything artistic, from drawing and painting to writing, crafting and photography. I am a photographer by trade and I love to capture the human essence. I love to photograph, draw and paint people and to discover the depths of each individual through their eyes. Since people fascinate me so much, human connection is important to me and I look forward to meeting new people every day.

Aura Farwell is available for private bookings

I am available most Saturdays/Sundays and Mondays from 11am-9pm.
I am available for private tutoring for drawing classes, mostly in portraits and the human form.
I am available for photography of weddings, events, portraits, graduations, etc.

I just love painting animals. They are so innocent and precious . I painted this sweet girl in acrylics in multiple layers to get the depth of her fur. The expression on her face made me smile and therefore she became the perfect subject.

I did this for the Rainy Day Challenge that was on the Facebook page. My wife really inspired me to do this one when I saw her drawing her picture. I decided to draw one of my favorite superheroes Daredevil in the Rain. I used a technique called inking with pencil, in Comic art where I normally would ink my pencils I decided to use the pencil in place of inks, and I used the gel pen for the rain. I looked at slot of Art done by John Romita JR to see how he would draw heroes in the rain.

As being the fastest piloted aircraft to date clocking in at 4,520 mph (Mach 6.7) and an altitude record of 354,200 ft, the X-15 is an engineering marvel that not only paved the way for the US space program but many scientific breakthroughs in the world of hypersonic flight. It shows the meaning of space power and civilian - military research and therefore a perfect testament to the USAF in space.
